How to Become a Public Education Advocate

Description:

A strong educational system is fundamental to our democracy, and your voice is needed. If you are considering the adoption of legislative priorities, the answer isn’t to go alone - bring your community along with you! By adopting a relationship-building approach to your legislative advocacy, you can develop strong priorities that give voice, create opportunities to build stronger connections to policymakers, and lead to positive outcomes for public schools.
